Zu Online(China) has just started its Open Beta in China. It reminded us a couple of months ago of the days we tested the very same game in English.
Zu Online – which refers to lots of classical sutras, has its setting based on the supernature novel—The Life of Swordsman in a area called Zu.
It is an elaborately and well-designed 3D MMORPG with a rich culture of immortals and knight-errants. Its most outstanding feature is putting emphasis on the traditional orient-culture of monkery. The in-game quests will boost the development of storyline. Players will be able to taste flying by riding a sword, consubstantiating gods, forging mystic weapons, creating sects and other amusing antics.
Zu Mountain, these two characters do not only represent a range of mountains and streams. By contrast, considerable ghosts, immortals, knight-errants and uncanny fairylands have been tightly fastened to them. Zu Mountain has become the pronoun of the millenarian oriental culture of immortals and monkery.
We have tested the game for the first 20 levels and if you just follow the quests, it will keep you very busy. One thing we have noticed is that, the map is very large. When you are moving from one place to another, it really takes time, even in GPS system(Click the NPC and you will move toward him directly). The most different aspect of this game compared to the others is from its paintings and graphics. It is really unique though.If you are tired of clumsy 3D games, you can have a try of this one.
As a gift to our readers, we will offer the smilies of Zu Online from the Chinese official website.
